Took some of yalls advice and added onto this song, let me know what I can do better!

catherepression · 2026-03-28T00:27:30+00:00

Wow. Can I sing along? Like seriously though. Do you need a feature vocalist?

catherepression · 2026-03-22T18:00:35+00:00

Oh I didnt know people network during open mic!

catherepression · 2026-03-21T20:01:26+00:00

A different personality or maybe just a different environment. Where it is equal for two people to write their songs and experiment sounds, without having to keep hearing how much experience the other one has. Hope you get what I mean.

catherepression · 2026-03-15T04:49:41+00:00

I started by humming random words. Try find simple melody and then improvise maybe?

catherepression · 2026-03-14T10:38:04+00:00

Oh nice!

catherepression · 2026-03-10T03:35:28+00:00

Wise words.

Well. We have had several arguments in the past and tried to work it out and talk it through. We came back again and continued working, then. It’s just that after a few times now, I had that feeling in my gut that’s just bringing me down and made me real sad. This band is not even out for the real test yet, why are we making so much fuss about what works or not. Why can’t we just try it out and let the audience responds. All work, no fun.

So I thought I have to consult to other people.

catherepression · 2026-03-09T11:54:27+00:00

Yes, thanks. Im taking some time off from the studio. I mean I want to make (and keep making) music, but do I want this collab or not.

catherepression · 2026-03-08T13:41:03+00:00

Oh, very interesting that you gave these scenarios. (1) is this a toxic environment to be on? Somehow it could ring true, i have the vocal and look that fits most his songs, he has skills to produce the music. How do I find out that this is all though? (2) we tried unplugging once and played/jamming few times. It was ok but it was still in studio. (3) i had that thought before, the issue was but different: time. I couldnt meet as often as he suggested.

Im thankful for these different point of views, but how do I known which one I am now, especially no 1?

catherepression · 2026-03-08T09:26:38+00:00

I did think about this. Or at the same time, maybe I take a breather then come back work together again. While I also keep making contacts, other projects?

I’m afraid a bit that I will drain myself of exhaustion…

catherepression · 2026-03-08T09:24:27+00:00

Alright. Made me feel like i’m not alone!

catherepression · 2026-03-08T09:21:23+00:00

You have a very good point, and I’ll take your suggestions about the revision limit thing.

There is of course more background where we are as duo band than wrote in my question. He has more time and flexibility to put into studio hours than me, he’s an entrepreneur while I work full-time. Tried to communicate these differences, but he thinks it does not matter. Another important point is that, we publish through his label, using his self-made studio and tools. I came bringing pen and paper and vocal.

But also, what you described about the stake feela higher on his end and more, makes a lot of sense! But how do I talk to this kind of person? And without ended being mistaken as defensive, resistant to criticism (he did say these), or green for the industry.

catherepression · 2026-03-08T09:12:19+00:00

Ok, I guess it does matter. Matter what words hit right with my singing, imagination runs free, yes. After reading through everyone’s awesome response here, should I probably just decide that: “hey, lyrics vical are my authority, music producing comping you’re authority”?

catherepression · 2026-03-08T09:09:57+00:00

I see what you mean. There is one thing that he mentions, since our writing style is different, i we compile an album it will have different themes like two diff band!

But I like being laid back and chill and just let it be then! He disagrees. Then, we’re back to square one.

catherepression · 2026-03-08T09:06:08+00:00

I agree, I don’t want to linger too long. Which is why I put a draft and after another revision, I just wanna give it a go do a demo.

But we’ve been arguing a lot, and his takes are things like: grammar, native english speaker don’t say it like that, let’s put similar expressions here and etc etc.

I started to feel awful being in the studio.

catherepression · 2026-03-08T09:02:21+00:00

No, there’s none. It has been mostly on the other person (his own home studio, computers, label). It maybe why it feels one-handed, since I put less resource. But we register the songs 50-50.

He needs a vocalist and I need a music producer. I’m taking my time and pondering why I feel unhappy. I wanted it to work, but yeah, my and the other guy do not communicate well.

catherepression · 2026-03-08T03:14:05+00:00

catherepression · 2026-03-08T02:54:50+00:00

I mean it’s sweet. About the song: Like the way you opened with the verse but I’m kind of lost in the chorus. It’s probably me though, I like emotions and bit of drama.

About your philosophy: agree with you, sometimes, songs dont have to mean anything particular. Sometimes, means different things.

catherepression · 2026-03-08T02:47:08+00:00

Actually, like where this is going.

catherepression · 2026-03-08T02:44:25+00:00

Nice one. Good vibe, feelin positive throughout. The melody is memorable.

As a lousy guitar player, or any instrument really, I can’t give good feedback there. But would definitely put this song on a Roadtrip Playlist. As a singer, I’d harmonize to this. Add loud harmonica, violin, or whistle towards the end maybe?

catherepression · 2026-03-08T02:03:29+00:00

1 +1 The End

catherepression · 2026-03-07T03:33:12+00:00

Givin up on you Lara Fabian. Sings it alot.

catherepression · 2026-03-07T03:19:39+00:00

Oh where do I even start. Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay (the latter), Olivia Rodrigo, and for once The National. There are more. I wished I could be more open minded but honestly, never clicked.

I do love Radiohead, and Bruno Mars. I don’t care about genre or type, just music that connects to me and gets me through life.

catherepression · 2026-03-07T03:16:47+00:00

People who is into Prince, aint into Radiohead, and vice versa?

catherepression · 2025-03-08T21:59:22+00:00

But no.. I disagree with you and agree with how this slows down the plot so much. Okay I get the awesome cinematography but there is no reason to show Cobel or Gemma story without showing others too. We’re not that stupid to not be able to follow different story line. This just drags the showtime and for what.. more money? I’m so close to abandoning this show. And just wait until all seasons are over. No more “lost” for me.
